Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a substance resists or does not allow any flow of electric current through it then it is known as an insulator.

For example, rubber, glass, paper etc are all insulators.

A conductor is a substance that allows easy passage of electric current through it.

A radiator is defined as the substance which emits radiations to transfer heat energy for heating and warming purpose.

A solar collector collects radiations that are passed from the Sun.

Thus, we can conclude that an insulator is a material that reduces the flow of heat by conduction, convection, and radiation.

Identify two factors that determine the state of matter

vova2212 [387]

Two factors determine whether a substance is a solid, a liquid, or a gas: The kinetic energies of the particles (atoms, molecules, or ions) that make up a substance. Kinetic energy tends to keep the particles moving apart. The attractive intermolecular forces between particles that tend to draw the particles together.

Two electric charges are moved so that they are twice as far apart as they had originally been. Is the force they experience fro

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

The force that two particle experience is inversely proportional to the sqare of the distance, this is:

$F \ \alpha \ \frac{1}{D^{2}}$ for a distance D

If we move them so that D is doubled:

$\frac{1}{2^{2}.D^{2} }$ = $\frac{1}{4} \eq \frac{1}{.D^{2} } \eq$

Then the force they experience is one fourth of the original.

If you wanted to detect x rays coming from the sun, where would you place the detector? Why?

Damm [24]

You would have to place your sensor above earth's atmosphere because it blocks out nearly all x-rays. this is why we have the Chandra observatory

hope this helps

The electron cloud model describes which of the following?

GalinKa [24]

1. I think it's the trails left by an electron as it moves around the nucleus.

2. The atomic number is the number of protons so it is 8.

3. It's mass is lowered but it is still the same element.

Answer:

2,400kg * m/s

Explanation:

You are missing some information in the question but the rest could be found some where else.

The question gives the masses and starting velocity of each car.

Car 1: m = 600kg and sv = 4m/s

Car 2: m 400kg and sv = 0m/s

Find the momentum of both cars.

Car 1: 600 * 4 = 2400

Car 2: 400 * 0 = 0

Add both.

2400 + 0 = 2400

Best of Luck!
